Today, I have a tooth infection that's spread to my jaw and ear. It hurts so badly that I'm practically in tears. Today's also the day I found out I'm allergic to the medication I was prescribed. Everything hurts, I'm covered in hives, and I can't stop throwing up. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got all four of my wisdom teeth taken out. I happen to be allergic to all types of pain medication. FML
Today, I woke up to the most excruciating pain in my jaw. No dentist that takes my insurance has any openings, and the one doctor I can see to get antibiotics isn’t in. FML
Today, I missed my dentist appointment. I couldn't attend, because I was too busy puking my guts up due to a bad reaction to the pain medication I'm taking for my toothache. FML
Today, I came down with painful sores in my mouth, just after having gotten over a cold. Apparently I'm allergic to the cough drops I've been eating for the past week to make myself feel better. FML
Today, after suffering probably my worst night of appendicitis, which consisted of vomiting, diarrhea, and going to the doctor, starving, only to find out a couple of hours later in the hospital ER that I'm allergic to penicillin and close to dying. Again. FML
Today, I've been sick with both a chest cold and a sore throat. As a result, I've also been dehydrated, causing me to have a headache. Whenever I cough, I feel like my throat is being ripped apart and my head is about to explode. FML
Today, I found out I'm allergic to the pills my doctor prescribed for coughing, which I really need because I ripped a muscle in my stomach. Now my whole upper body is covered in a terrible itchy rash. I also found out it will last for at least another week. FML
Today, I have an ear infection. The pain from it radiates from my ear all the way down the left side of my face, so my doctor prescribed me something that makes half of my face numb and pretty much unusable. Tomorrow, I have to give a presentation on strokes for my med class. Go figure. FML
Today, I'm in agony. I can't eat or drink anything without being in pain, including water. Doctors don't know what's wrong with me, and can only prescribe me painkillers I can only take 3 times a day. FML
Today, I'd finally had enough of feeling awful and went to urgent care. As it turns out, the reason my throat was sore was because I have a sinus infection. The doctor explained my nose is producing pus, and that's what I'm swallowing and coughing up. Yuck. I also have pink eye on top of that. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I think OP should go to a hospital..
Volcan_fml 22
I can't believe some people think OP deserved it. What the hell.
chell1894 13
I don't necessarily think they deserved it. But usually the cause of an infected tooth is bad hygiene. And it has to be left un treated for a pretty long time to get this bad. Usually. I don't know the entire situation. But I think that's what some people are thinking that are giving ydi.

It is better you found out about the allergy now! It can only get better from here OP
Jenn50 19
Actually, it can get loads worse, if the infection spreads and OP can't take meds for it because they're allergic.

22) I'm sure OP wants to read about how much worse she can feel! Let's be optimistic here.

There are a ton if different med options. If you are allergic to one doesn't mean you are to all. There are a lot of antibiotics that either don't work for me or I cannot tolerate. I get sick a lot. It just takes patience and working with the doc to find the right one. And I know patience can be in short supply when you are sick. At least op knows about the allergy to that class if drugs for next time

#40_Patience is a minor form of despair disguised as a virtue.

50- Sorry this is irrelevant everyone, but to 50, I just wanted to tell you that (if that's your dog in the picture) it's so adorable :) I had two beagles that I loved that got out 2 years ago:( miss them. OP, today will be horrible as you've already experiences, but once you get medications that you aren't allergic and wait a few days for the tooth infection to heal, you'll be feeling a lot better. It can go nowhere but up. :)

#52_Totally irrelevant, but the pic is not of my beloved Monster Beagle. My hound is much cuter...but doesn't do pics. So, this was the next best thing. Love Beagles :)

I feel you OP. i had a throat infection recently, and then an allergic reaction to the antibiotic. Then like a week later i took a different antibiotic for a different reason and was allergic to that too. The hives came back, and i spent all day vomiting. It sucks, but as long as you drink lots of water and flush it out of your system, it doesn't last forever.

Hope you recover soon, OP. :-)

Was thinking the same thing. When you're in agonizing pain and your medicine causes allergic reactions, it's time to take a trip to the hospital.

I was just gonna say.... If your infection is so bad you're throwing up, get to a hospital!
afallingstar 22
The ER can give you good pain reliever...having an infected tooth sucks hope you feel better soon OP
lilmisslovely13 15
42- the throwing up is probably because of the allergy, not the infection.
bethrocksya 9
Unless you have no insurance and don't want to get stuck with a huge ER bill. . . FYL, OP.

At least you aren't ******** yourself?
elk21dbm 18
Deeply sorry OP. Feel better!
LadyGore 12
If all else fails T3's for the pain. But don't get addicted!
Beeftinkle 13
But getting addicted is the most fun part of opiate abuse!!!!

This is one of those times where you just cry your eyes out

Try and use hot compresses for the pain. Also, for the hives, calamine lotion and NSAIDs like Aleve or Motrin. They will help relieve some of the inflammation
thrAsHeRr9081 16
Do not take NSAIDS. Bad idea, especially if the OP was prescribed painkillers.
astralvagan 20
OP didn't specify what they were allergic to. I assume it was an antibiotic since that is the most common medicinal allergy
MigraineurOfLife 15
I developed an allergy when I had an abscessed tooth. Bad thing is, it was anaphylactic shock! I'm allergic to NSAIDS, which I was taking for the pain of the abscess.

You poor thing. Get better soon!
